bzarcherWell, the internet's back again!
In the meantime, however, I put myself to good use. Despite two of the brushes I bought at Hobbyland self-destructing (and admittedly, they were 'budget' ones), I decided to use the still good base-coat brush to experiment with some drybrush and washing techniques on some of the lead that Mattbert and Dave gave me, or that I had from earlier and hadn't done enough with.
Now, keep in mind that before this, my minis were always as simple and plain a paintjob as possible, just because I always sucked at them.
Impressive, isn't it? The greens are going into the 3rd Confederation Reserve Cavalry, while the other Wasp was just a test of doing drybrush and a light wash over base white primer that I decided I really liked. I think I mentioned doing the test coat and wash on the Jinggau the other night, but it's even better to know I can duplicate the effect!
